she'd fix me a dinner of sunflower seeds
and ready-whipped topping inhalers
and take me down South with Hall
and Oats in her mouth
my first love my Joan Jett of Arc
my black heart was heavy
but her mom's Cougar was fast
as little pink houses were whistled
and it was all you can eat at
the Sizzler that night
my steak burnin' Joan Jett of Arc
my steak burnin' Joan Jett of Arc
and the shopping malls and roller rinks
all dimmed their lights cicadas
and crickets were silent
and the train tracks
like stitches skidding bicycle tires
as I slipped in my Joan Jett of Arc ...
and the birds that were crushed
once had air in their bones
as oil was refined in her honor
